others, with credit to himself, until
compelled to resign on account of
sickness. For months the deceased
was suffering from sort Of nervous
prostration, to which he finally sue
cumbed. He leaves a wife and five
children. Prof. Powell was man
highly respected by alt who knew him
for his many good qualities of head
and heart. There are numbers of his
former students who will read with
sadness of the death of this truly
good man.
Walla Walla Statesman: Several
prisoners now incarcerated in the PEN
itentiary here have retained attorneys
and will endeavor to obtain their re-
lease under the decision of the Terri
torial Supreme Court that women are
not competent jurors. This was held
in the case of ]. J. Harlan, whose re-
lease was reported in the Statesman
during last month. The prisoners
now taking advantage of this decision
were convicted by juries on which
women were impanelled, and they
claim q parallel case with Harlan.
However, it is our belief that, as they
did not at the time of their conviction
take exceptions to the illegality of the
verdict, no court could now have juris-
diction in their cases. The case of
Harlan was taken on appeal to the
Supreme Court on exceptions to the
legality o. the verdict at the time of
conviction, and the Supreme Court
held that women, not being electors
under the law, could not serve as elig-
ible jurors. The United States Su-
preme Court also holds that should an
alien serve on a jury and exceptions
not be taken at the time of trial and
conviction, as provided by statute, the
defendant acquiescing in the verdict
without any objection, then he is
legally convicted and cannot seek re-
dress at any time afterward.

BosroN, Aug. ia dispatch to-
day from South Woodbury., VT, gives
the details of an attempted robbery in
a railway station Saturday evening.
Early in the evening the telegraph
operator Mt the station received this
message: "Watch the box" This
was duplicated many times, but he
was unable TO learn the sender. The
express stopped at the station near
midnight, and left coffin which WAS
marked care of station agent-to be
called for" The box was placed in
the express room, near the safe, In
which quarry wages amounting to
nearly $4,000 had been placed during
the day. About the same time the
sounder licked violently and repeat
ed: Watch the box" The operator
was puzzled to know what the warn
ing meant, and fell off into a sleep.
He was rudely awakened, however, by
hearing the instrument rattling fur
iously, Watch the box" He turned
his gaze to where the coffin lay, and
saw by the dim light of the station
lamp the lid rise. Immediately a
powerful built man, evidently bur
glar, wearing a Grape mask and carry
ing some tools, leaped out of the cas-
ket and approached the safe. The
operator seized the burglar, and in a
struggle the latter plunged knife at
him. The operator thereupon shot
the burglar in the shoulder. The
thief fell to the ground and the opera
tor ran for physician. When he
returned the burglar had escaped. The
affair has created sensation in South

handed him back dime, saying that
fifteen cents was all he ever charged
for saving boys life.

A PAPER PIANo.-A French inven-
tor has made piano of compressed
paper, to which is given hard sur
face and a cream-white, brilliant pol
ish. The legs and sides are orna-
mented with arabesques and floral
designs. The exterior and as much
of the interior as can be seen when the
instrument is open are covered with
wreaths and medallions painted in
miniature by some of the leading
artists of Paris. The tone of this in
strument is said to be of excellent
quality, though not loud. The bro
ken, alternating character of piano
music is replaced by a rich, full, con-
tinuous roll of sound, resembling
somewhat that of the organ.

Facts OF Interest to tho Hop Growers Of
Washington Territory.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 20-With the
approach OF autumn the hop growers
and dealers of California are bestirring
themselves, the former to gather their
crops, the latter TO ascertain the status
of the hop market and dispose of their
stock now on hand. Within the past
few months agents of Lilienthal & Co.,
one of the largest dealers in hops in
this city, have been canvassing the
state to collate facts regarding the pro-
duction of the staple, and the result
Of their search may prove interesting.
In California. out of tifty-two counties,
nineteen lay claim to being hop-pro-
ducing districts, principally among
which are the counties of Sacramento,
Mendocino, Sonon,a and Yuba. Cali
fornia hop growers during the year OF
1880 succeeded in placing on the mar
ket S,54O bales of hops; in 1881, 1913

A REPORTER of the Los Angeles Her
aid recently interviewed Judge Field,
of the U. s. Supreme Court. Among
other things the Judge said: "There
is at present more enlightened opin-
ion in the East on the Chinese ques-
ton; ; and the necessity for further re-
strictive measures is more than ever ap-
parent. I,myself, have always thought
that the immigration should be res.
tricted to those engaged in foreign
commerce, in importation from China
or expectation from the United States
to China. LabOrers and mechanics
should be excluded. 1t is not for the
interest Of our country to permit the
immigration of persons who cannot
assimilate with our people here. !
think there could be no objection to
allowing Chinese to travel through the
country, or to attend the higher schools
of the land if they should desire SO to
do, but collisions between laborers and
mechanics will constantly arise if thai
class is allowed to come and reside ir
this country"

An exchange says: EVERY grow
ing and ambitious town is composed
of three elements: Those who work
periodically, vigorously and inteli-
gently for its advancement those
who are in state of apathy or indif-
ference, and those who take a curious
delight in discouraging the efforts of
others by ridicule, by persistent
denial that any progress can or has
been accomplished and by boasting
of every other town beside their own.
The last class are called croakers,
but they are really something worse,
for their opposition does not arise
simply from dependency, but from
that unenyiable spirit which will
neither act itself nor suffer others to
act"

Better Remain at Home.

Before making the plunge into city
life. country girls should ask them
selves what Is really to be gained by
it. Perhaps in their quiet rural
homes some stray advertisement has
reached them promising to young
women high salaries for light work.
Hundreds, of advertisements are
framed for the very purpose of de-
ceiving the unwary. They accomp-
lish their purpose, however, and
large number of young girls rush
up to the city, dazzled by the gener-
GUS profusion of promises. A girl
from the farm answers one of these
advertisements. Life may have been
slow at home. but there was always
good food and in plenty, and there
was some one to care for the old farm
house. When she goes to the big
city she finds that the slight work"
consist in working all day in badly
lighted and ill-smelling workshop,
where scores of other girls and wo-
men are employed at wages hardly
high enough to keep body and soul
together. We know what often comes
next. The girl has left home she is
ashamed or unwilling to return, and
she must take the consequences, one
of two things-shame or suffering.
Many a girl finds first in the frivoli.
ties and next in the iniquity Of the
streets that excitement by which re.
grets and remorse may be deadened.
If she is too strong in principle. too
pure and elevated in tone thus to
sink down to one of the pitiful wo-
men of the streets she may find her.

First Sight Of a Confederate.

General William w. Averill, U. S,
A., in one of his lectures related quite
humorously his first sight of a uni
formed Confederate officer, 1t was
in Virginia, near Fairfax G. H., and
before first Bull Run. He was in the
command of Col. Andrew Porter,
making reconnaissance. They saw
mounted body of men in front.
Porter gave the order "Draw sabres"
and ordered charge. When they
came within ten rods Of the opposing
force its commander raised his hand
palm outward and halted. Col. Por-
ter sent Lieut.. Averill forward to
ascertain what was wanted. He rode
up and the Confederate announced {:
"I am Col. Taylor. Of the Confeder-
ate army, bearing dispatches from
President Davis, of the Confederate
States of America. to President Lin
coin, of the United States" Averlll
returned to Porter with the message
and was sent back to bid the Confed-
crate to dismount and approach. He
did 80 and came up to ten PAGES Of
Col. Porter, and in the same precise
language repeated his message. Col.
Porter replied coldly: II know of
no such officer nor service, nor can I
receive your communication until I
receive instructions" The two men
faced each other a moment longer,
then stepped forward and shook
hands with "How are you, Andy"
and "How are you, Tom," while a
bottle from Porter's haversack was
seen to make its way to Taylor's lips.
That message asked for an exchange
of prisoners that was not granted,
and in consequence, General Ayerill
added, ''many poor Union soldiers
languished and died in Rebel prison
pens."
